Well I didnt even want to post, I was going to just try again without asking for help , then I thought about the fact I used a whole syringe for nothing!

I made quart jars , they looked ok, I PC'ed them they looked fine, and I finally found out what people mean by the smell of cook WBS, SHOT my load , of spores waited over a week and nothing has happened !

MY ONLY THEORY after thinking about what could have happened is that I "overcooked" the WBS, but it looked like pics I had seen of WBS(cooked)

anyway I am going to use straight millet and see what happens

what do you think I did wrong the first time ??????

another reason I thought I might have over cooked is I cooked it for like over 2 hours(it was a busy day) and I thought more wouldnt hurt

although it was the first time I used my new PC, so I kept turning it up high and then back to steady , to figure out its Presure control movements etc , and then up high just because I thought , grain is harder then rice

I have had much better luck doing a rice to wbs transfer when working with wbs. That shit colonises so fast when you do that. I have never had even one jar fail to colonise when doing this. I have not been so lucky using spores with wbs.

Are you sure the water content was right? You may have drowned the spores, although it sounds like you overcooked the shit.

I see what everyone is saying. It is so hard to form an opinion when you see both sides so clearly!

Give them more time to germinate . 1 week may not be enough . How much spore solution did you inject into each jar ?
But my first guess as to what you did wrong ...................
Patience is a must when growing mushies , and you have already shown you are overly anxious and expecting to much to fast .
Good Luck
PS 1 hour is fine for future cookings , 2 hours should not have burned the grain , so do not worry much about that , just put those jars in warm dark place for 2-3 weeks and forget about them ....... "PATIENCE"

yes you can cut a cake. You could also get a cheese grate and grate a whole cake into a few jars. Just make sure it is colonized all the way through the middle to prevent contams. Also yes too much water can create contamination not drown spores, but the contamination will prevent germination and growth of spores.

my friend has been having good success boiling wbs theb steam sterilizing in jars via pf-tek. Boil for 45mins to an hour then drain in a strainer for 3-4 hours or more if desired then scop into jars add vermiculite on top after you've filled your jars, then boil the jars in a pot for an hour.

But boiling wbs is more difficult than straight millet because it contains red millet and they explode earlier than other grains by boiling process so that causes contams after you pc and inoculate jars.
